12 servings

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup butter
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup golden raisins (Optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x8-inch baking dish.
  • Place sweet potato into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash sweet potato until smooth.
  • Sift flour, white sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and vanilla extract together in another large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir pumpkin seeds and brown sugar in hot butter until brown sugar is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir bananas and mashed sweet potato into pumpkin seed mixture. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Stir banana mixture into egg mixture until well-combined. Pour banana-egg mixture into flour mixture and stir until batter is just combined; stir in raisins. Pour into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
